We
were offered 18 days of dog-sitting and wondered how best to use it. We love
Mallorca and wanted to see where we could get to that was reasonably nearby. Our
trip has five stops joined by tandem, boat, and train and takes us through three
countries: Spain, France, and Italy. We’ll describe how we put the trip
together, our adventures along the way, the food we ate, the views we saw, and
the people we met.

I
enjoy travelling to interesting places with small group tour companies.

I come from a Welsh family, and am re-learning the language.

In 1865 153 Welsh people embarked on a journey to Patagonia, they were promised
a fertile land with fresh water; this is not what they found.

The 2 main areas where the Welsh have settled are now thriving, with the Welsh
language and culture is increasing.

We
travelled through the Welsh areas, and across the huge Desert separating them,
looking at fascinating places where few people ever get to.

David Redford

A journey to Riga, Vilnius, Minsk, Kaliningrad
and Gdansk gave an opportunity to compare the post-Soviet states which have
turned westwards towards Europe with those which have stuck with Russia, and
also to study the relics of the Teutonic Knights, the Hanseatic League, the
Polish-Lithuanian empire and the long struggle between Germany and Russia.

Lindy Pyrah

The
Mauritania iron ore train is the true definition of a cult classic: an epic
overnight train journey involving hopping on a freight wagon full of iron ore in
zero comfort through a dangerous country while experiencing the amazing Sahara
desert and night sky.

Lindy
is a train journey enthusiast and a London branch Globetrotters committee
member, she did the Mauritania iron ore train solo in January 2018 and would
love to share her story of how she prepared, experienced and lived to tell the
tale of this amazing journey. Normally desk bound for most of the year, Lindy
tries to make the most of her small holiday allowance to undertake memorable
adventures.
